Alright, Let's try this again.

Cammy White, 1920s Flapper style.

Alright, I'm the most indecisive mofo you're ever likely to meet, but I think I've finally got something I want to try.

Essentially, I want to do a pulp 60s spy movie version of Cammy from Street Fighter. Her background story says shes a British agent for the MI6 subsection Delta Red, so it seems like a natural progression to give her a retro James Bond-esque makeover.

Reserving for future updates...

i like the idea, but i think you'll lose a lot of her personality if you put her in the 60s. I mean, she's a chick in the special forces. Not exactly your little fragile china doll. Though I do love me some austin powers....hmm.

Ziggy

I think it could work, as long as u keep the features that make up cammy. Like the hair + long legs. Will be intreresting to see how it turns up.

Steve Schulze

It'll be tricky, but I think workable. I think the blue uniform might be easier to translate. With it's high neck, shoulder pads and pill box hat it's already a little bit retro. The stripy patterning on the legs could be developed into patterns on stockings. The hair shouldn't be too hard to tweak into something a bit more 60s. Beyond that it'll be just a matter of playing around with the different features until they work.

Will try and get a concept up today.

I think the idea's great. The prompt is to take a character and go in an entirely different direction with it, not just make a new skin, essentially. Change it up! Make it your own!

Nizza_waaarg

doin the same char as me :P (tho you're actually doin somethin original in the concept, unlike me ^^; )

cool idea man, hope you rock out the 3d-ness soon

Jigsaw

Big fan of both Cammy and Noone Lives Forever, so I'm excited to see where you'll take this.

Steve Schulze

Alright, as is traditional in all of these competitions, I'm not really feeling my initial idea.
Inspired somewhat by Lackadaisy Cats, I'm now leaning more towards a 1920s flapper style. It looks like it'll have some fun options in both the costume design and stylisation departments.
I'll probably make her a speak-easy owner in prohibition America (I guess she immigrated) or something with a bit of a tougher edge to it so she's a little more than just a girl with fancy clothes and hair.

Assuming I haven't gone of this idea by then, I'll have some images up after work tomorrow.

Steve Schulze

Most of this is knocked together really quickly and roughly just to see whether the idea is going to work. I think with a bit more development it just might.

Everything here is very much subject to change. The dress design will almost certainly be entirely different for a start.


What do you think?

Straw

It works well man, but she looks kinda old...I don't know, these 1920's fashion doesn't looks good for an special forces's chick, but As I said, the concept works..
Why don't you try some 60's style? the skirts are shorter~
Here some references

Anyway, I can't wait to see what you are going to do with her
Good luck!!

Alright, another quick and dirty scribble riddles with proportional and perspective anomalies that I wanted to get out before going out tonight.

Not sure how clear it all is, but all shall be revealed in time.

I'm off to see Motorhead

Dmoz

Love the idea! it reminds me of the old army posters.

Different era but I reckon you can get some good ideas by checking them out.

uk_resistant

Might be an idea to look at Swimsuits of the era for inspiration too.

Nice concepts/themes.

Steve Schulze

Time for a quick update. Got sick of noodling about with concepts

Still trying to decide exactly what to do with the hair/hat. I think what I've got at the moment looks ok, or will once it's a bit more refined, but it's not very flapper-like, mostly because that look is partly defined by having short hair. I'll add some spit curls to the part and some kind of fancy hat pin and see how I go. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Deady

Looks like its coming along nicely...

But holy BALLS that's terrifying. She's staring into my SOUL.

madmuffin

Haha oh man, the eyes are sucking out my soul. Deady is right, definitely terrifying, but I can't wait to see the rest.

Steve Schulze

Tonights update. Gave the face a little more personality and worked up the body a bit.

Tickwomp

Nice! Really digging the beret.

Steve Schulze

Alright, had a bunch of stuff going on and haven't had much of a chance to work on this thing. Thought I might just knock something quick, simple and stylised out in the week or so remaining using what little I already have. Chances are I still won't get thing thing done, but you never know.


Playing with proportions. Will probably do a pass with the polish and clipping brushes next and simplify the whole thing.

I dunno if this even qualifies as a redesign now, but I'm mostly doing it for a laugh.
